In March, 2011 New Adventures in Sound Art (NAISA) turned 10! To celebrate, NAISA's installation space was filled with everyday man-made objects especially selected for the interesting sounds they make when struck or played, offering participants a chance to play with sound and manipulate it live. All to help support NAISA fund its educational and presentation opportunities for sound and media artists.

Even though the installation is no longer running, you can still help support NAISA fund its educational and presentation opportunities for sound and media artists by downloading-by-donation the many audio recordings of the found objects and performances on them by Rick Sacks, Neil Wiernik, Bentley Jarvis, Alan Bloor and dreamSTATE. Celebrate and support NAISA with a bash that lasts!

NAISA's installation space is a rentable space for sound and media artists. Go to www.naisa.ca/rent.html for more info.
